Gaim 2.5.0 Change Log

Notes:2.5.0 (08/18/2008): Daniel: Lots of good stuff in this release. Lots of people have worked very hard on the updated MSN protocol, and it's finally time to bring it to the world! There are myriad bugfixes, including some important ones so you should be sure to update.

Hylke: Finally MSNP15 support. To celebrate this I refreshed a lot of the smilies used in the protocol and added the long awaited indispensable bunny icon. I think this is one of those releases that will make a lot of users happy, especially MSN users.

Elliott: Oh look, my first NEWS! Well anyway, with that new MSNP15 support, this release is set up to be a huge success and a total flop all at the same time. Here's hoping it's the "huge success" one for you. Those icon changes that Hylke made, while minor, really make things look a little cleaner, I think. Oh yea, did I mention that MSNP15 stuff?

Mark: Speaking of MSNP15, we'd like to welcome Elliott Sales de Andrade as a full fledged developer! He took the last few strides mushing the new MSN code into shape. Then he decided that wasn't enough and started doing other great stuff.

Ka-Hing: "Reject"ing a certificate after your account is signed off is not recommended. Deleting the file after you start sending it is also discouraged.

XMPP: * Fix a bug that caused the UI to not refresh and caused the client to use 99% CPU when an XMPP account lost its connection to the server. * Possibly fix a bug where some clients could get into a state where they moved a buddy back and forth between two groups in an endless loop.

IRC: * /ctcp command (Vladislav Guberini) * Allow for auto-detection of incoming UTF-8 formatted text on accounts which are configured to use some other encoding.

MSN: * Update MSN support to protocol 15 (Elliott Sales de Andrade, Jorge Villaseñor, Mike Ruprecht, Carlos Silva, Ma Yuan, Daniel Ljungborg and others) * Personal messages are now supported. They are treated as status messages. * Offline IM is now supported. * Aliasing is now supported server-side. * Buddies are now emblemed. Bots and web clients should now be distinguished. * Update smiley set for non-faces. * Failing to update a buddy icon when the buddy has gone offline no longer crashes. * Custom smileys received in a chat no longer go to a new window. * Processing is no longer completely frozen after the servers block a message because it contains (what they consider) inappropriate text.

Pidgin: * Custom buddy icons can now be added to and removed from buddy list entries via the buddy list entry right-click menu. * Resize large incoming custom smileys to a maximum of 96px on either side. * Offer to add new buddies into the same contact as existing buddies in the same group if the alias given is the same. * Minor smiley style update.

General: * Group and Chat buddy list entries can now be given custom buddy icons.

Finch: * Added "Invite..." menu to chats. * Added "View All Logs" menu in the buddylist to display a list of all IM logs. * Added '/msgcolor' command to change colors of different classes of messages in a conversation. See '/help msgcolor' for details. * Added tab-completion for commands in conversation windows.
